BUT: Jordan has gone on record as saying that Book 12 is the FINAL book, even if it has to be 2000 pages to do it.

I was such a big fan of Wheel of Time, until I realized that books 7-10 could have, and should have, been condensed into a single book.


In all fairness, however, I have a feeling that if I had read the entire series at once it would have been better... I started reading after book 5 came out, and I consumed the entire epic from 1 through 6 in one go-round and I savored every page. Then I had to wait 2-3 years between the subsequent books - and frankly, they weren't worth the wait.

On the other hand, I have heard that Knife of Dreams was quite worth the wait. I haven't had a chance to get it yet - with the move, and the new job, and the chaos that is currently my life - but I'm looking forward to this one.

I have read his series, I got up to Lord of Chaos and from there I couldn't handle it anymore. I stopped and I've given up on the series. He has sooooo much going on in one book it's hard to remember who everyone is, what they are doing, etc.

I can't remember where I left off. If I just jump into 11 will I be confused?

I just finished my last book and if I don't get something to read today I'll go nuts.
